UTMB Sealy Center on Aging in conjunction with Research Services

12th Annual

Forum on Aging

Wednesday, October 1, 2008

The Sealy Center on Aging in conjunction with Research Services is hosting the 12th Annual UTMB Forum on Aging on Wednesday, October 1, 2008 from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. in the Levin Hall Dining Room. Please mark your calendars. All UTMB faculty and students are invited. The major purpose of the forum is to inform gerontology researchers, in particular, and the UTMB community, in general, of the types of aging research going on at UTMB and of the resources available from the Sealy Center on Aging.

All faculty and students involved in aging research are encouraged to present a poster at the UTMB Forum on Aging. All participants will have the opportunity to wander around and see the other posters. There will be a monetary prize for the best student posters.

The poster does not have to represent last week's research findings. Something that gives other UTMB scientists a sense of the type of work you are doing will be fine. Often that might be a poster that you presented at a national meeting within the last year or so. Alternatively, you could summarize all your aging research into a poster session. If you are just initiating a project, you could simply summarize the goals and proposed methodology.

Attached is an on-line Abstract Form file for you to complete and return as indicated. The deadline for receipt of the abstract is September 15, 2008. Abstracts will be included in the forum program. Board assignments and name tags can be picked up at the registration desk starting at 3:00 p.m. on the Forum date. The poster boards are the standard 4' X 6' (4’ from top to bottom and 6’ wide).
